WEB-WINDING HLCHINE.

appucmon mea August 1s, reas. semi no. 50,903.

This invention relates to web-winding machines. More particularly, it relates to a machine in which' aweb of paper,cloth or other flexible material is unwound from a parent roll, slit into units of the desired width, Wound upon tubes orkcores fed to the-4 machine, perforated, .glued and discharged.

i There are no machines at present in use lfor performing all of these'operations. According to the best practice' prior to my invention, the o erator places the -tubes or cores about w ich the material is to be wound, upon a spindle, places the spindle in the machine, Wraps by hand several turns l5 of the material from the parent roll about the core and starts the machine, which then winds and slits by motive power.y When the desired quantity has been wound, the operator stops the machine, breaks the paper 9@ along the width of the web, glues the end of the rolls, and removes the spindle from themachine. This operation isrepeated for each set of rolls. In my copending application, Ser. No. 624,357, I have disclosed and.

claimed an 'automatic winding and wrapping machine. This machine is -provided with threesets of rollers, which are automaticall rotated in predetermined sequential combinations. One set, the winding and material into sheets of appropriate widths at the same time. A second set, the feeding `rollers, feed the material tothe core from 36 the parent roll and cooperate with a'perforator to perforate it'at the end of the winding. When the desiredv length .of material has been wound about the core, the

feeding rollers stop, while the winding roll- 40 ers continue to rotate. This tears the materiall along." the perforation `and separates the wound roll from the web. Thereupon a third set of rollers, the wrapper rollers, feed a wrapper to the winding rollers, cooperate with a perforatorito perforate the wrapper after a predetermined length has been fed,

and automatically apply glue to it. When the wound .roll has been wrapped, the wrapper rollers stop and the winding rollers continue4 to rotate, thus tearing the wrapper along the perforation and detaching it from the wrapper web. The winding rollers then continue to rotate long enough to tighten the wrapper about the'roll and ensure the rollersfholdv and rotate the core and win the material about it, slitting theV adhesion of the glue. Thereupon the winding rollers separate to discharge the wound and wrap ed roll, and a new core is fed into place. T e operation is then repeated.

In accordance with the present invention Il have provided a somewhat modified form.

of mac ine for producing an unwrapped wound roll. The machine of the present invention is provided with novel means for applying adhesive to the web itself just before the end of the winding operation, the feeding of the web continuing just long enough after this to permit the glued portion of the web torome in contact-with the wound roll. When this 'contact has been made the feeding and winding are auto matically arrested, one ofthe winding rollers swings out of supportin position and an ejector severs the web a jacent the wound roll and forces the latter out of the machine.

A preferred embodiment of the invention .is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of thenovel machine made according to and embodying the principles of my present invention Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section through the machine, taken on the line 2-2 in Figure l; Figure 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal vertical section through the machine, taken online 3 3 in Figure 2; Figure 4 isa fragmentary ele/vation of one end of the Figure 9 is a similar view, the former view v lshowing the normal initial inoperative condition of the gluing device and the latter view showing the operative condition of the same; and'Figure 10 is a perspective view of a wound roll of paper as produced by the machine. Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the 'hereinabove described views to indicate corresponding parts.

Referring now to said dra' the reference character 1l indicates a pan' of standlards or end frame members for supportin wardly from the front side of each standard or end frame member 11 adacent to its lower end, is a bearing brac et 13 upon which is supported a mandrel 14. Mounted upon said mandrel 14 is the delivery roll 15 of paper web 16 which is to be operated upon by the machine. y

Mounted upon a shaft 17, iournaled in and extending longitudinally between said standards or end frame members 11, is a. perforator bed roller 18, having in its circumferential face longitudinally extending grooves or channels 19. Mounted upon a shaft 20, also journaled in and extending longitudinally between said standards or end frame members 11, is a combined `leed. and guide roller 21 paralleling the forward side of said perlorator bed roller 18.

lournaled in and extending between said standards or end trame members l1, so as to be situated in the rear ot said perlorator bed roller 18, is a group ot winding rollers, comprising an upper winding roller 22, a lor ward lower winding roller 23 and a rearward lower` winding roller 2t, which are prelerably spaced apart at one-hundred and twenty degree intervals about a circular line intersecting their artes. duid torward lower winding roller 23 also constitutesa slitting roller, the same being provided with annular cutting blades 25 having serrated or sawtoothed cutting edges which are atlixed to the roller so as to reject trom the circumference thereot, an' which are secured to the roller in longitudinally spaced relation corres ionding to the widths ot' the runs to which it is desired to reduce the paper web 16. Mounted above said combined forward lower windin'gand slitting roller 23 is a slitting bed roller` 26 annularly grooved at points opposed to said cutting blades 25. Said rearward lower winding roller24 also constitutes a gate roller, in that it is supported so as to be capable of swinging bodily away from its normal operative relation to the winding rollers 22 and 23, for purposes to be subsequently more tally explained.

. rthe means for mounting the combined winding and gate roller 24 to permit of such swinging movement comprises a rock shaft 27, upon the ends of which are secured arms 28 provided at their free ends with bearing members 29 to receive the journals 30 of said winding and ate roller4 2a. Extending from one of the aring members 29 is a lever arn131 provided at its free end with an anti-friction roller 32 engageable by an actuating mechanism to be hereinafter described; and extending from 'the othenor opposite bearing member,29 is a lever arm v33, towhich is attached a ull-spring 34 which tends to yieldably hol said winding and gate roller 24 in normal operative posi tion. Said winding and gate roller 24 may be suitably counterbalanced by providing the rock shaft 27 with' forwardly extending lever arms 35 aiiixed thereto, and from the free ends of which are sus ended counterbalance weights 36. A carrier tube feeding means is provided in the rear of said group ot winding rollers, the same being so disposed that its discharge mouth terminates at a point intermediate the upper winding roller 22 and the combined winding and gate roller 24. 'lhis tube feeding means comprises a runway or stacker frame 37 for supporting the tubes 38 in a train one above the other. Journaled in and extending between said standards or end frame members 11.` below and adjacent to the discharge end of said stacker trame 37 is a shaft 39 upon which are fixed detent starwheels 40 for normally engaging and detaning the lowermost tube 38 against discharge until the detent starwheels are actuated. Fixed on one end ot said shaft 39 is an actuator or tripper starwheel l1 tor actuating said shaft 39 and its datent star-wheels l0; the means for in turn actuating the tripper starwheel t1 will be 4subsequently described.

dournaled in and extending between said standards or end frame members 11, above said pert'orator bedroller 18, is a drive shaft ft2'. ltotatably mounted on said drive shalt ft2 is a tubular shaft 43 upon which are fixed braclret members del for supporting radially projected pertorator blades 45, which when,

revolved, cooperate with said perforator bed roller 18 to laterally perforate the paper web 16 as it moves over t e perforator bed roller and beneath said revolved perforator blades.

Pivotally mounted upon bearing lugs 46 connected with the front sides of said standards or end frame members -11 are swinging arms 47 between the 'lower free ends of which is rotatabl sup orted a tension roller 48, said arms 4 an the roller 48 being yieldably held under tension against the paper web 16 as it pays oil' of the delivery roller 15 by pull springs 49 interconnected between the upper end of said arms 47 and the standards or end frame members 11.

Secured upon one of the standards or end frame members 11 is a housing 50 adapted to enclose the power transmission mechanism whereby operative movement is imparted to the various mechanisms making up the machine. Journaled in a bearing 51 connected with said housing 50 is a spindle `52 which is axially alined with said drive shaft 42 but rotatable independently thereof. Fixed upon the outer end of said spindle 52 is u driving pulley 53, or power may be apsaid spindle 52 is a fixed driving clutch element 54. vKeyed upon the adjacent end of said drive shaft 42 is a shiftable clutch ele'- ment 55` which is engageable with said driving clutch element 54 when it is desired to couple said shaft 42 in driven relation to said spindle 52. Fixed on the opposite end of said shaft 42 is a spur gear 56 which meshes with la larger' gear y57-`fixed on the adjacent end of the perforator bed 'roller sliat't 17, and also fixed on said latter shaft 17 is a spur gear 58 which meshes with a spur gear 59 of similar size fixed on the adjacent end) of the tubular shaft 43 carrying the perforator blades and their sup orts. The above described arrangement vo vgears provides a speed reduction gearing for driving the perforator bed roller 18 .and the perforator blades 45 harmoniously from saidi drive shaft 42. The combined' feed `and guide roller 21 is driven by a spur gear 60 which is fixed upon an endof itsshaft 20` so as to mesh operatively and be drivenby the spur gear 58. Fixed on a journal 26 of said slitting bed roller 26 is a spur gear 61 which mes es with and is driven by said spur gear 58. Fixed on a journal 22 of said upper winding roller 22 is a spur gear 62 which meshes with and is driven by said spur gear 61, and, in like manner, fixed on a journal 23 of said combined wlnding and slitting roller 23 is a spur gear 63 which also meshes with and is driven by said spur gear 61. Fixed on a journal 30 of said combined winding and gate roller 24 ijs a s ur gear 64, and rotatably mounted on an en of said rock shaft 27 is an idler gear 65 which intermeshes with and between said spur gear 63 of the winding and slitting roller 23 and the spur gear 64 of the winding and gate roller 24. From the above description and an inspection of Figure 4.of the drawings it will be apparent that the three Winding rollers 22, 23,'and 24 will be rotatably driven at the same speed and in the same direction through the train of intermediate transmission gearing thus above described.

Rotatably mounted Within said housing is a cam drum 66 'provided at its` outer end with worm gear member 67 for turning the same. Said cam drum is rotated through said worm gear member `67 byv means of a transmission 'mechanism driven from said power spindle 52; said transmission mechanism comprises a driven bevel gear 68 connected with said ower spindle 52 which meshes with a friven bevel gear 69 mounted upon a bearing shaft 70 suitably lsupported within said housing. Rotatably mounted on said bearing shaft .70 is a sleeve 71 having a worm 72 y which meshes o eratively with said worm ear member 6 Connected with the end or ub of said driven bevel gear 68 is a fixed driving clutch member 73. Keyed upon the adjacent.

.76 on the upper exterior side of said housing 50.

livotally mounted within said housingr is a clutch shift lever mechanism 77 w i 50 ich operatively engages said shiftable clutch` element 55, the same having at its free end an anti-friction roller 78 enga eable by shift cam projections 79 and 80 w ich are fixed upon and actuated by said (am drum 66 for the purpose of engaging and disenagin the paper web feeding mechanism at esire .predetermined times, as will be hereinafter more particularly set forth.v

Also mounted upon and actuated by said cam d rum 66 is a gate 'roller actuating cam member81 which cooperates with the antifriction roller 32 of the lever arm31.

Also fixed to the inner end of said cam drum 66 is an outwardly projecting stud 82 which is carried by the rotation of the cam drum into actuating engagement with tripper starwheel 41 of the tube feeding mechanism.

Supported for longitudinal extension between the standards or end frame members 11 in convenient position is an air pipe 83 having extending therefrom at suitable intervals air nozzles 84 which extend rearwardly beneath said combined Winding and slitting roller 23, with their discharge ends leading'upwardly into the space intermediate the winding and slitting roll 23 andv Ithe winding and gate roller 24. In like manner, supported for longitudinal extenthe upper winding roller 22. The said air pipes 83 and 85 are respectively connected by suitable hose or pipe conduits 87 and 88 with the discharge side of an air-control valve 89 mounted on the rear side of said housing 50. A supply-pipe 90, leading from a suitable supply o f air under pressure communicates with said air control valve 89. Said air control valve 89 is provided with a pivoted actuating lever 9h for opening the same. Pivotally mounted on the rear of said housing 50 is an air valve trip lever 92 in engagement with said actuating lever 91, said trip lever 92 having an extension 93 with whiehis engaged a pull-spring 94 vfor actuating said trip lever 92 when .the

same is freed tor operative movement. Said trip lever 02 is provided Witha tail piece 95 which projects into the interior of said housing 50 so as to engage the circumferential surface of said com drum 66, the same having an anti-friction roller 90 which rides on the cani drum surface. in opening 0i' is rovided in the Wall of seid cam drum, which is carried b v the rotation oit the latter opposite the tail piece 95 so es to free at such time, the trip lever 92 tor actuation by the spring l to thereby operate the actusting lever 91 to open the valve tor the delivery ot sir through the air nozrles di .fr il et desired giiredeterniined times.

This severing or brealring means comprises a fixed carrier bar 08 mounted to extend longitudinally between said standsrds or end trame members 11 above seid upper winding roll 22. Carried by said carrier bar 08 so as to be capable ot vertical reciprocation are a series of brealter members4 99 having upwardly projecting stems-100, adjacent to the upper 'tree ends ot which are lined collars 101, and

between said collars 101 and the upper side ot said carrier ber are compression springs 102 which normally hold said'breslrer members in upwardly retracted or normally inoperative position. VSaid upper Winding roller El@ is cutaway to provide annular grooves 103 permitting the downward projection et said brealrer members past the roll, and 'seid breaker members are each provided st. their lower Jtree ends with a rearwardly turned foot portion -1. .lournsled in and extending between said standards or end trame members 11 is a roel: shaft 105, end lined on said rock shaft 105 are s series ot depressor levers 106 the tree ends ot which are adapted to respectively swing downwardly upon the upper portions of said brealrer members, when said roclr shaft is actuated, to operatively depress the same. The Ineens tor actuating' said' roch sha-tt 105 and its depressor levers 106 comprises a lever arm 107 which is fixed upon an end ot said rock shalt which extends into said housing 50. Csrried on the tree end of seid lerer arm 10'? is an anti-friction Losanna nozzles 111 extending; downwardly from' their lower ends. Extending tl1rou.,h each reservoir and its nozzle is a vertical'y movable dauber or plunger 11.32 having a stem 113 projecting,r upwardly above the reservoir. :fluid dauber or plunger 112 is nor- .inslly maintained in raised position by means ot u. compression spring; 114; disposed on the stein 113 hetween u gruido bloeit 115 sind s. coller 110 which 1;..ed en the upper tree end ol said stem The nossles entend d .i illy toward the combined Windingr slitt roll fall, being1 spaced slightly shove the surface ot' the letter. lllllien the stern 113` is in normal raised position the dauher or plunger 1152 shuts the mouth olf the nozzle against the outward dori ot glue or paste therefrom (as shown in Figure 8;) when, however, the stem 113 is depressed, the dauber or plunger moves downwardly out of the mouth ot the nozzle, to thereupon permit an ejection or downward dow of glue or paste upon the paper passing over the winding and slitting roller 23, so that just prior to the lorealriitey ot the paper trom the main run or web 10, the glue or paste Will be applied theretoy behind the breaking points, whereupon the final Windingr movement will ress thel Iglue or paste-provided tree end o the paper to the main body ot the Wound roll (as shown in Figure 9).l 'llhe means for producing a timely depression ot the stems 110, tor the above stated purposes, comprises a roclr shatt 117, journaled in and extending between said stend-` ards or end `h'ame members 11, 'with one end projectingr into said housing 50.

Extending beneath the group of Winding rollers is a chute or receiving trough 120 into which Ithe paper Wound tubes or rolls may tall when released from the said windine rollers.

Having thus described the general constructiony'of the machine and its device and parts, 1 will now brieliy describe the operation of the same.

For the purpose of illustrating the operaaon of the machine 1 will assume una a delivery roll of paper sixty incheswide is mounted on the mandrel 14. 16 is carried from the delivery roller 15 over the tension roller 48, thence under the` combined feed and guide roller 21 and over the perforator bed roller 18, and thence under the slitting bed roller 26' and over the combined winding and slitting roller 23. The winding and gate roller 24 having swung open a tube 38 is positioned against the upper winding roller 22 and combined winding and slitting roller 23, whereu on the winding and gate roller is permitte to close to normal initial position so that said tube is engaged at three pointsby and thus supported within the center of the grou of winding rollers, all as illustrated in 10. ure 2. Power is now applied through the pulley 53 to'the spindle 52, and the clutch mechanism driving the worm 72 being operated to connect the latter through the bevel gears 69 and 68 with. the power' spindle 52,

said worm 72 is rotated to in turn drive the cam drum 66 through the worm gear 67, whereupon said cam drum 66 is rotated in the direction of the arrow shown in Figadvance the web 16 to pass intermediate the i. tube 38 and the winding rollers 22, 23, and

2st. As the end of the web 16 leaves the winding roller 23, the opening 97 is timed by the rotation ofthe cam drum 66 to register .with the tail piece 95 of the air `valve trip lever 92 so that the same is momentarily freed for operation whereby the air control valve 89 is opened while the web 16 is entering the winding rolls to permit blasts o' air to be, delivered from the nozzles 84 and 86 to thereupon ress the entering lend of the web toward t e tube 38 so that its entrance between the `same and the winding rollers 2-1 and 22 is assured until it is caught and firmly held for rotation with the tube by the first convolution, after which the air is cut off. Since the winding rollers 22,23, and 24 all turn at equal speeds in the same direction, a rotary motion is imparted to the tube 38 and the paper so that the llatter will be reeled or wound upon the tube. As the web 16 passes overv the perforator bed roller 18 the perforator blades are rot-ated to intermittentlystrike the paper 'to 4:t'orm The web web 16 must be slit longitudinally at therein lateral lines of perforations at longitudinal intervals equivalent to the length of one half the circumference of the bed )roller 18, as will be understood from an inspection of Fi re 2 of the drawings. Since the paper we 16 is sixty inches wide and the tube 38 equally long and it is desired to produce ultimate wound tubes or rolls fifteen inches long, the run of the tpaper fteen inch intervals and the tubesl also cut or scored transi-'ersely at similar intervals for,`

ultimate separation offV the parts thereof receiving the runs of reduced width. These operations are accomplished when the pa er passes over the combined winding and s itting `roller 23; tothis end the annular cutting blades 25 thereof are set lifteen inches apart, and serrated edges of the same willpenetrate and cut longitudinally' through the paper, while atthe samel time laterally scoring the tube 38'wl1ile the first turns of paper are being taken up thereon. Iii the above described manner the paper is continuously fed to and wound upon the tube until a desired length of paper is accumulated upon the tube. As the diameter `of the roll of paper formedon the tube enlarges, the winding and ate roller 24 being yieldably moun, yiel outwardly without loosing its operative engagement therewith. Just prior to the time the completion i of the desired accumulation of paper on the tube is accomplished, and immediately before the feeding movement of the paper is stopped, the cam projection 109 is carried by the rotation of the cam. drum 66 into passing engagement with the lever arm. 119, whereby the rock shaft 117 is turned to swing the cam arms 118 down 'upon the stems 113 of the paste delivery devices. As the stems 113 are depressed the daubers or plungers 112 are lowered from the mouths of the nozzles 111, thus liberating'the paste so that the same may drop upon the paper to forni small spots adjacent to each side or end of the roll, after which the rock shaft and its cam arms return to normal initial position when the lever ,arm 119 escapes from the cam projection 109, thus permitting the stems 113 and daubers or plunvers 112 to also resume normal position to c ose the nozzles 111 of the paste reservoirs. The winding of the papel-fon the tube continues until the pasted portions are carried against the. bod. ofi the formed roll to adhesively l secure t e ultimate free end of the roll to the body thereof. By the time the winding and pastine operations are completed, the throw-outs cam projection 80 is carried by the rotation of the cam drum into engageinent with the anti-friction roller 7 8 ofthe shaft lever mechanism 77-rwhereby the latter is swung in an opposite direct-ion to 'release the shiftable clutch-element 55 from the naad clutch element 54, thereby sto pingr the rotation oit the drive shaft d2 an consequently stopping the rotation ot the pa er feed, perltorator land Winding mechanisms, thus holdino' the paper web 1.6 motionless. is soon as the paper web 1G is thus brought to rest, the cam drum G6 carries the cam projection 109 into operative engagement with the anti-friction roller 10S of the lever 107 thereby rocking the rock shaft 105 to depress the breaker' or ejector members 9.9, the `feet 101i olf which are forced downwardly upon the wound tube or roll, exerting a downward pressure thereon which breaks the runs ot theweb 1G along; lines ot pertorations adjacent to the com pleted wound tube or roll ot paper, to thereby separate the latter strom the former. its this operation takes place, the cam drum 6G also carries the cam member El into engagement with the anti-friction roller 32 on the arm 3l to swing down the same and thereupon swingto open position the combined Winding and gate rollen 2a, whereupon the separated Wound tubes or roll of paper may drop down between the Winding rollers 23 and 2d into the receiving chute or trough lfZO. W'hile the Winding and gate roller 2a is opened, the star detent wheels Ll() are par tially rotated to release another tube 38 from the stacker trarne 37 to pass between the upper Winding roll 9.2 and the Winding and gate roller Qd before the brealcer members 99 rise, so that as the latter resume normal raised position and the WindingI and gate roller 2t swings bach to norma-l position, the new tube will be carried into open attire relation to the groupoi Winding rollers readyT to receive the paper to be ted thereto and Wound thereon. By the time the new tube is thus properly positioned and the breaker members and combined Winding; and gate roller resume normal initial positions, the throw-in cam projec tion 79" again engages and operates the shii't lever mechanism il to operate the clutch devices serving to couple the drive shaft #i2 with the spindle 52 so that the paper eed, perforator and Winding mechanisms resume operative movement, and the operations above described are repeated. Al`he machine @may be thus run continuously until the supply oit tubes and paper web 1G are exhaunted.

rllhe product et the machine consists ot the Wound rolls lt et paper carried on a tubular or other core 3S, the paper beine' provided at intervals throughout its length With lateral rows ot pertorations l?, thus ltorrning convenientseparable sheets, which may be detached 'trom the main body ot the roll at the will ot the consumer (see Figure 101).

'he rol s thus produced mali7 be made up of various kinds et paper sultable for va- Leaaaae rious uses, such as waxed aper for lunch Wrapping, paper for towes, tor napkins, and paper for many other purposes.
